RE: PAC-E-15-04 - PACIFICORP'S APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE 2015
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN
Dear Ms. Jewell:
Please find enclosed an original and nine (9) copies, of PacifiCorp's 2015 Integrated Resource
Plan (2015 IRP). In an effort to improve transparency PacifiCorp is also providing data disks for
the 2015 IRP. These disks support and provide additional details for the analysis described
within the bound volumes of the document. Disk 1 is public; however the remaining disks
contain confidential information. Copies of the 2015 IRP are also available electronically on
PacifiCorp's website, at www.pacificorp.com. Confidential information in the 2015 IRP will be
provided to any party who has signed a non-disclosure agreement in this Case. PacifiCorp
requests that interested parties contact the state manager listed below for a copy of the non-
disclosure agreement that must be executed and submitted prior to obtaining a copy of the
confi dential information.
PacifiCorp submits the 2015 IRP filing in compliance with Order No.22299, Case No. U-l500-
165, dated January 1989; whereby the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (ooCommission")
ordered biennial filings of the electric integrated resource plan. This plan is also submitted to the
Commission as the Resource Management Report on the Company's resource planning status.
The 2015 IRP contains information outlining how PacifiCorp has addressed the Commission's
integrated resource planning requirements (see Table B.2 "Appendix B - IRP Regulatory
Compliance").
The 2015 IRP fully complies with the resource planning requirements in the Commission's rules,
and the Company respectfully requests that the Commission acknowledge the 2015 IRP in
accordance with those rules and fully support the 2015 IRP conclusions, including the proposed
action plan.
All formal correspondence and data requests regarding this filing should be addressed to:

ATTOR}IEY'S CERTItrICATE
CLAIM OF CONFIDENTIALITY
I, Yvonne R. Hogle, represcnt Rocky Mountain Power in the above captioned matter. I
am Assistant Creneral Counsel for Rocky Mountain Power.
I make this certification and claim of confidentiality reguding Volume III of the 2015
IRP filing pursuant to IDAPA 31.01.01 because Rocky Mountain Power, through its supporting
workpapers, is disclosing certain infonnation that is Confidential and constitutes Trade Secrets
as defined by Idaho Code Section 9-340 and 48-801 and protected under IDAPA 31.01.01.067
and 31.01.01.233. Specifically, Rocky Mountain Power asserts that Volume III of the 2015 IRP
filing, consisting of 4 confidential DVDs, contains confidential information.
Rocky Mountain Power hercin asserts that the aforemeirtioned volume is confidential in
that the information contains commercially sensitive information rcgarding the Company's coal-
fired generating plants. Disclosing this information could give entities accass to compctitive
information Rocky Mountain Power believes could be used to disadvantage it and its customcrs.
I am of the opinion that this information is "Coofidential," as defrned by Idaho Code
Section 9-340 and 48-801, and sttould therefore be prorccted from public inspectiou elrarnimtion
and copying, 8od should be utilized only in accordance with the tcrms of thc hotective
Agrcanent bctwecn Rooky Motrntain Power and Idaho Public Utilities Comrrission Staff.
DATED this 30th day of March,2015.
